You're receiving this notice because you have one or more Amazon Lists that are shared with others and have a delivery address set up. We're writing to inform you about an upcoming change to Amazon Lists. Starting March 25, 2026, we will remove the option to restrict purchases from third-party sellers for list items. When this change takes effect, gift purchasers will be able to purchase items sold by third-party sellers from your lists and your delivery address will be shared with the seller for fulfillment. This change will provide gift purchasers with access to a wider selection of items when shopping from your lists. Important note: When gifts are purchased from your shared or public lists, Amazon needs to provide your shipping address to sellers and delivery partners to fulfill these orders. During the delivery process, your address may become visible to gift purchasers through delivery updates and tracking information. To help protect your privacy, we recommend using a PO Box or non-residential address for any list you share with public audiences

Heads up to anyone who uses Amazon wish lists to allow others to send them stuff, they are changing how it works, privacy-wise, and it could reveal the address to senders via tracking updates.

An outline of a naked woman is embroidered on linen in the same bone white colour as the linen. She stands legs together, her right hand covering her groin, her left hand, palm up, extended slightly to her side. She looks to the right. Her entire body except for her belly is covered in intricate markings representing different neurological sensations. Her face is a mask of green lines, feathery grey lines cover her shoulders and chest. There is a thick band of intricate burgundy stitching around her waist. Her forearms and hands are covered in thick blue undulant lines. Her right leg has bands of burgundy along the muscles, with small dots around them. Her inner left leg has a thick line of blue running up it, with thin branches spreading towards her outer leg.

For this #InternationalWomensDay I’m sharing a symptomatology #embroidery, body map (2016), in which I stitched my #MECFS symptoms freehand over a few months. ME/CFS affects mostly women, and the symptoms are often ignored or not taken seriously because of medical misogyny.

Idea for Tolkien podcast or webcomic mocking & satirizing the manosphere bullshit but using the three middle Fëanorians. We’d have the gym bro (Tyelkormo), the financial advisor/hustle culture obsessor (Carnistir), and the creepy pickup artist (Atarincë/Curufin). 💀💀💀

Call that shit “Fresh & Fey” 🤣

The (Non-) Problem of Fin An essay in honor of the first annual Neterque Nénime Ñoldoya, or Ñoldor Day

If you’re a fan of Maitimo Russandol Nelyafinwë/Maedhros, the last section displays how the loss of his hand is tied up with Ñoldorin kingship.

I wish more people would actually boycott SCREAM 7 and stay home this weekend just to send a message. But I know that's asking too much. The masses are pacified by *content* fed to them by the fascist machine.

Arafinwë/Finarfin’s actual thoughts after hearing the Doom of Mandos:

Does not conform to such simplistic roles.

For an introduction, I recommend two books read together, ONWARD TO OUR NOBLE DEATHS and KITARO.

The give a taste of the different flavors of Mizuki. If you enjoy those, you can move on to his larger works like Showa: A History of Japan.

If there are two things I wish I could educate the world on:

1) Shigeru Mizuki was a genius, and one of the greatest artists and philosophers to ever come out of Japan

2 Shonen Knife is one of the greatest bands of all time and their existence makes the world a better place.

INTO THE UNBEING is two-volume journey through an eldritch whalefall. For fans of Alien, Annihilation, and Scavenger's Reign.

4 climate scientists on the Australian outback discover a sprawling alien corpse. They go inside to explore & are immediately trapped.

Given my full-time job, I’m likely only gonna be able to complete one of these papers by May & to do them justice. But also don’t want to place whichever one I don’t do for WestMoot on the back burner despite the need to.
